Black woman on the street with attitude

Spits through her teeth and stares at you

White boy with the living blues

Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube

Some days I feel removed

But all I can do is think of you

I feel like I am being used yeh yeh



Well you bruise me and you batter me

and you make me feel the twist

I try to convince myself

that im strong because of this

My friends say Im beautiful

But it's time to get real

I try to find some hatred

But I can't change the way I feel



And this murder happens all around my heals

But it aint real you are the deal

And theres poison flowing all around my head

And here I am all alone in bed



OId queen on the ship of fools

you're worried that it might sail for you

White lies from the broken youth

Who hasn't got the nerve to counsell you

Some days I feel amused

But all I can do is think of you

I feel like I've been such a fool yeh yeh



Well you bruise me and you batter me

and you make me feel like dirt

And just for one minute

I've forgotten what I'm worth

My friends say you're beautiful

But it's time I got real

Im staring at your picture

But I can't change the way I feel



And this murder happens all around my heals

But it aint real you are the deal

And this poisons flowing all around my head

And here I am filled with regret



Is it not enough

to just feel the love

and give it

why cant you give it

Is it not enough

to just feel the love

and live it

why cant you live it

why cant you give it

oh why cant you give it

why cant you give it

oh why cant you give it

You are the deal

You are the deal

You are the deal-
